DARPA Creating Hybrid Super Soldiers Using Brain Implants

Published September 29, 2015 DARPA creating hybrid super soldiers.

In it’s never ending quest to gain superiority on the battlefield, DARPA has a new tool, the minds of human soldiers. DARPA is expanding beyond weapons and robotics into brain mapping for the use of artificial neural networks via implantation of electronic neural circuitry directly into human brain tissue.

Working with DARPA on this project, IBM built a cortical simulator on it’s super computer called DAWN at Laurence Livermoore Labs. DAWN consists of over 147,000 processors and 144 terabytes of RAM which managed to simulate 1.6 billion neurons and 8.87 trillion synapses or approximately the scale of a cat’s cortex.

This however, is NOT DARPA’s goal. Their goal as previously stated is to achieve self creating artificial neural networks using synthetic biology that will generate 10 billion neurons utilizing 100 trillion synapses….about 60% more than a Rhesus monkey and about 8.6% of that of a human.

DARPA is expanding beyond weapons and robotics into brain mapping for the use of artificial neural networks via implantation of electronic neural circuitry directly into human brain tissue. Although military publications such as Defense One recently stated that DARPA’s not ready for the testing phase of this technology, a paper recently released regarding DARPA’s RAM Program says otherwise. Obama’s BRAIN Initiative dove tails right into DARPA’s goals and visa versa.DARPA creating hybrid super soldiers.
